This study aimed to compare the corrosion resistance between titanium alloys grade 23 and Ti-6Al-4V ELI (extra low interstitial), which has strict control over interstitial elements, and grade 29, which has the same composition as the previous alloy but with an addition of 0.11% (by weight) of ruthenium in its composition. For this purpose, samples of both materials were subjected to electrochemical tests of open circuit potential and cyclic potentiodynamic polarization, in order to evaluate electrochemical parameters that clarify the corrosion resistance of these alloys. Immersion tests were also conducted to determine the corrosion rates of the alloys in different non-oxidizing solutions. The results of the electrochemical tests did not reveal significant differences between titanium alloys grade 23 and grade 29. In the immersion tests, however, a considerable difference was observed when performed in HCl solution. Although the immersion test showed differences, the literature on the effect of ruthenium (Ru

This study investigated the invasion of the exotic species algaroba (Prosopis juliflora) into an Indigenous Territory, focusing on the impacts of this invasion in terms of changes in land use and occupation, as well as the resulting ecological and socioeconomic implications. The research began with a detailed characterization of the study area, including an analysis of its environmental and socioeconomic conditions, which allowed us to understand the context in which the invasion occurred. Data were then collected through remote sensing and geoprocessing, techniques that proved crucial for identifying the areas most affected by the algaroba's expansion. The study continued with supervised image classification, allowing us to accurately map the algaroba's distribution in the study areas. Based on this data, a comparative analysis of changes in land use and occupation from 1985 to 2022 was conducted, highlighting the replacement of native ecosystems by areas dominated by algaroba. These results highlight the magnitude of the invasion and its effects on local biodiversity, including the reduction of native species and the alteration of ecosystem functions. Furthermore, the study explored the socioeconomic consequences of the invasion, analyzing how the presence of mesquite affects agricultural and livestock activities, and the livelihoods of local communities. The research also discussed the challenges faced in implementing management and control strategies for this invasive species, suggesting the need for more effective public policies and conservation actions. The conclusion is that the mesquite invasion poses a significant threat to the conservation of natural ecosystems and the sustainability of economic activities in the affected regions, requiring immediate interventions to mitigate its impacts.

The milk run system is inserted in the context of Lean Logistics, the logistics dimension of the Lean Production System. The combined pick-up between different suppliers characterizes it, optimizing the material’s transportation and storage costs. Milk-run can be treated as a vehicle routing problem (VRP), one of the most explored problems of Operations Research in supply chain management. In this study, we address the Milk Run Routing Problem with Progress Lane (MRPPL), which consists of a VRP variant that models a milk-run system in the context of Lean Logistics. This problem encompasses the trade-offs between the lean performance criteria, such as pick-up frequency, vehicle efficiency, and inventory level at the manufacturer’s plant. We present a literature review on the basic concepts of Lean Manufacturing applied to the logistics of the milk run pickup systems and the state-of-the-art VRP and its application to the automobile industry. Additionally, we develop a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to identify the characteristics and peculiarities of the VRP application to lean logistics. To model and solve the addressed problem, we propose two mixed integer linear programming formulations, one based on a previous study from the literature, and the other originally proposed in this study, considering different types of decision variables and constraints. The results of computational experiments show that applying the second formulation considerably reduces the computation time to solve realistic instances. On average, the total computation time to solve an instance using the second formulation is 8% of the total time for the first formulation. We provide managerial insights considering several scenarios and different variations of parameters in the real problem presented in the case study. An optimal solution could be found for the real problem, indicating a low number of vehicles required and an increase in their efficiency.

The Brazilian extreme-right, as paradoxical as it may seem, has become the herald of the demand for “freedom of expression.”. It is not, however, the same 'freedom of expression' for which former liberals and current progressives fought. This statement, in its appropriation by the extreme-right, was subjected to an emptying of its signifier, in a subversion of its meaning, which in this update ceases to refer to an inalienable right in democratic societies to become a kind of habeas corpus to protect those who, through verbal expression, violate laws and advance the rights of other citizens, promoting the distortion of consensual and historically established truths, systematically and strategically mobilizing lies and slander as disloyal and illegal instruments in political disputes. It is the analysis of the discursive functioning of these contours and the uses of this utterance in a video, of the documentary genre, by the producer Brasil Paralelo, released on August 17, 2020, entitled “Os donos da Verdade”, to which we dedicate ourselves in this work, supporting ourselves theoretically in some principles of Discourse Analysis, especially of Foucauldian orientation. To this end, we proceeded to identify, select and cut out a series of discursive sequences from the documentary in which the statement 'freedom of expression' appears. Then, we seek to group and characterize these sequences according to their inscription in given discursive formations, and to analyze, from the establishment of their relations with other utterances, the intended effects of meaning. In our analysis, we mainly use the conceptions of “discourse” and “utterance” according to Foucault's (1987, 2014) perspective, of “discursive formation” as also defined by Michel Pêcheux (2018), and of “discursive memory” according to Jean-Jacques Courtine (1999, 2009).

Climate change requires a transition in the ways energy is produced and consumed. Metal hydrides (MH) can play important roles in this transition, acting as low-carbon hydrogen storage in the solid state or as energy storage in Ni-MH batteries powered by renewable sources. In this case, MHs are formed by the reaction between metal and hydrogen generated by water electrolysis in an alkaline electrolyte. The electrochemical hydrogenation of metals is a complex issue, involving phenomena described by different areas of knowledge such as electrochemistry, thermodynamics, and physical metallurgy. In this thesis, the electrochemical hydrogenation of two metals is investigated through this multidisciplinary approach. Initially, the electrochemical hydrogenation of Pd was studied, considered a model system due to its noble nature and its ability to absorb hydrogen, forming the hydride PdH0.6, which has the same crystal structure as Pd (FCC). Through the study of this model system, the concepts of reaction kinetics involved in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) were related to the thermodynamics and kinetics of hydrogen absorption by Pd and the formation of PdH0.6. Next, the electrochemical hydrogenation of metals was investigated in a more complex system, using the metal Nb. Nb is a body-centered cubic metal capable of absorbing hydrogen by forming two hydrides (β-NbHx orthorhombic and δ-NbH2 FCC). In addition to the formation of hydrides with different crystal structures, Nb also tends to form oxides on its surface. For Nb, the HER, thermodynamics, phase transformation mechanisms, and the impact of oxides on electrochemical hydrogenation and dehydrogenation were studied. The thickness of the Nb oxide layer increases under anodic potentials but has a limited impact on hydrogen desorption. The irreversible absorption is primarily linked to the displacive formation of the δ phase.

This Final Graduation Paper aims to analyze the proportion of impacts of adult/child in daycare schools in Sorocaba. For this reason, a qualitative exploratory research was carried out with education professionals around the city, by using an online questionnaire and analysis of public institutional documents as a data collection method. The statements indicate a high level of disapproval from the part of professionals in relation to the number of children per adult in municipal daycare schools. In addition, several other factors were planned, such as physical and psychological exhaustion, the feeling of devaluation, and illness in the class; both pedagogical and logistical limitations, among other problems, directly impacting the well-being of the children and present professionals. The results point to the need to re-evaluate public policies on early childhood education and promote debate on the quality of care in Early Childhood Education Centers (as known as CEIs).

The city of São Paulo incorporated into its Special Education Policy from the Perspective of Inclusive Education for the Municipal Education Network of São Paulo - RME/SP, the provision of Specialized Educational Services (AEE) in three modalities, namely: Collaborative AEE, Itinerant AEE and After-School AEE. In this context of various AEE, it is interesting to know: How does the Itinerant AEE modality occur, specifically regulated in the São Paulo Policy of Special Education from the Inclusive Perspective of the City of São Paulo? What relationships are established between the action of the itinerant AEE service and the regular classroom teacher that can contribute to the curricular access of the target audience of Special Education? How is the Itinerant AEE Service organized in the Education of the City of São Paulo/SP? Therefore, the importance of understanding the relationships established between PAAIs and their functional attributions is justified, outlining the general objective of the research to analyze the Specialized Educational Assistance Service in an Itinerant manner of the Municipal Education Network of São Paulo, as well as more specifically aiming to: a) characterize the professionals who make up the Support Services for school inclusion in the RME/SP, b) describe the roles assigned and performed by these professionals and list the Itinerant AEE and c) understand how the pedagogical practices related to the mediations assigned to the PAAI, who work in the Itinerant AEE, are being operationalized. To this end, to describe and analyze how the itinerant AEE occurs, an investigation was carried out involving the participation of thirty-seven Support and Monitoring Teachers for Inclusion, linked to the thirteen Regional Education Directorates - DREs, undertaking data collection from document analysis, questionnaires with open and closed questions and interviews in focus groups. The conclusions drawn from the PAAIs were that it is critically important to collaborate in the Itinerant AEE together with educational units. The urgent need to expand the PAAIs framework to serve Special Education Target Audience Students (EPAEE) was also highlighted, as well as the importance of considering the integrality of the subjects and the promotion of school inclusion as a means of stimulating universal and equitable participation. Finally, by analyzing nine educational policies, it was evident that the Itinerant AEE is only present in the São Paulo Policy for Special Education from the Perspective of Inclusive Education (PPEE-EI), in the context of the city of São Paulo. It was observed that there is, therefore, a rich opportunity to expand this modality to other smaller cities, expanding the offer of AEE services beyond what is traditionally carried out, that is, beyond the activities in multifunctional resource rooms in the afternoon, which has been prioritized in national educational policies for school inclusion.

This project consists of creating a prototype walkway equipped with pressure sensors, which will be used by the Department of Physiotherapy at the Federal University of São Carlos, with the aim of applying the Walking Trail Making Test (WTMT) to evaluate patients with Alzheimer's disease. The Walking Trail Making Test (WTMT) consists of a walking test on a walkway with markings, which evaluates the motor and cognitive functions of a patient with mild or moderate Alzheimer's disease. One of the difficulties for the professional who is administering the test is to maintain a standard in recording the patient's performance data, while also observing their behavior while performing the test. To overcome this difficulty, a low-cost automated walkway was developed that captures patient data during the WTMT, in order to avoid errors when recording patient performance data and improve diagnosis in mild or moderate stages of the disease. In addition to using low-cost components, the prototype walkway developed is designed to be foldable and easy to transport. The walkway has low-cost piezoelectric pressure sensors that send signals corresponding to the places where the walkway was stepped on, to an Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller. A graphical interface was also developed in Excel that displays the data processed by the Arduino on a notebook screen in real time. This processed data is saved in a database that was created in Excel, allowing the management of WTMT data and enabling the generation of specific reports for each patient.

Applications in survival analysis can incorporate covariates, such as age, sex, disease severity, or laboratory data, which are known. However, there are many other unknown factors that can influence an individual's survival, including health status, lifestyle, smoking, occupation, and genetic risk factors. These factors are referred to as frailty and control the unobserved heterogeneity of the study's individuals. Thus, the objective of this work is to develop frailty models for modeling unobserved heterogeneity in survival data. In this context, the Family of Power Variance Functions (PVF) will be considered for modeling the unobserved heterogeneity of these data and the Piecewise Exponential Model (MEP) will be adopted as the baseline hazard function. The proposed approach is flexible, as the PVF distribution includes major frailty models as special cases and, in turn, the MEP model provides a semiparametric alternative to parametric distributions, being widely used due to its ability to accommodate hazard functions in different forms, without the need to impose restrictions to achieve a good fit to the data. Consequently, the presented models are extended to allow the construction of defective and long-duration univariate models, resulting in zero frailty, where it is possible to determine the proportion of individuals immune to the event of interest in survival studies. Furthermore, a bivariate long-duration frailty model is introduced, using Poisson mixture and the PVF family distributions. This model is enhanced, generating a regression model that allows the assessment of the impact of covariates on survival data. The inferential approach is based on bayesian methods using the Hamiltonian Monte Carlo method implemented in R-Stan, where some simulation results are provided to evaluate the performance of certain properties of the Bayes estimators. The importance of models is illustrated through applications to real data sets.

The additive manufacturing (AM) process, or 3D printing, can be applied both to the production of prototypes for visual purposes only, as well as functional parts for final applications. AM enables the production of complex and personalized parts, without the need for several manufacturing process steps carried out on conventional equipment. Additive manufacturing is applied in different areas, including industrial automation using flexible devices produced through this process, aiming for greater efficiency in production lines with the proportional distribution of low impact forces, greater degree of freedom of effectors and the interface between machines and humans in object manipulation systems. The objective of this work is to develop a study on additive manufacturing of non- assembly mechanisms, applied to the design of flexible effectors for educational applications, and to analyze the mechanical behavior of the physical structure, through tests on a test bench in handling objects of different shapes. Additive manufacturing processes, printing of mechanisms without assembly, materials used to manufacture the effectors, sensors used, textured surfaces, types and drive systems of flexible devices are presented. The sequence of activities consists of developing the effector, selecting the drive mechanism, producing the effectors by AM, developing the drive mechanism, selecting textures, carrying out tests and analyzing the data obtained. During testing of handling objects with different geometries and masses, tables and graphs were generated demonstrating the best performance of the prototype in a vertical position and with a homogeneous EVA texture.

To analyze the experience and safety of nursing staff in caring for tracheostomized children in out-of-hospital settings. Method: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. The study was conducted remotely in October 2024 using a sociodemographic characterization instrument and a safety questionnaire regarding the care of children with tracheostomies. The questionnaire comprised seven items with five response options ranging from 1 to 5, where 1 indicated "completely unsafe" and 5 indicated "completely safe." Additionally, participants who reported having prior experience in caring for children with tracheostomies were asked to respond in writing to the following guiding question: "Tell me about your experience caring for a child with a tracheostomy." Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. All ethical principles were observed. Results:The study included 34 nursing professionals: 13 nurses, 17 technicians, and 4 nursing assistants. The participants had a mean age of 42.18 years, with a minimum of 24 and a maximum of 62 years. Regarding their educational background and professional experience, the mean durations were 15.38 and 11.9 years, respectively. Of the total participants, 19 (55.8%) reported no prior experience caring for a tracheostomized child. Among those who had such experience, the narratives highlighted feelings of fear and insecurity. Overall, all items on the safety questionnaire scored above 3 points, with an average score of 3.85. The item with the highest mean score (4.39) referred to confidence in performing the periodic replacement of a tracheostomy tube in children. The item with the lowest mean score (3.55) pertained to confidence in identifying clinical signs of probable tracheostomy tube obstruction in children. Conclusion:It is essential to invest in educational initiatives on this topic for the nursing team.

The education of deaf individuals in Brazil faces historical and structural challenges that hinder the full inclusion and appreciation of the cultural and linguistic specificities of this community. The National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), along with other educational policies, has favored an approach centered on oral language and an educational structure designed for hearing students, perpetuating an inclusion model that often fails to address the real specificities of deaf students. This scenario calls for a critical reassessment and the consolidation of Marginal Pedagogical Practices and Processes of Minoration, which promote singularity and difference, recognizing Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) as the primary language. This thesis aimed to: map the Pedagogical Practices of Bilingual Teachers, highlighting Marginal and Minoration Displacements. To achieve this goal, we shared daily knowledge derived from Bilingual Teachers in the Early Years of Elementary Education (1st to 5th grade), foundational years for building knowledge conveyed in/by and through Libras. The thesis argues that education embracing differences is only realized through Processes of Minoration, which entail Displacements from the normalizing Educational Practices focused on hearing students. However, two types of Pedagogical Displacements are observed: a less radical one, characterized by Marginal Teaching, marked by curricular adaptation practices that still preserve elements of a majoritarian logic; and a more radical one, constituted by Processes of Minoration, which emphasize the presence of difference and the emergence of a creative act, wherein deaf teachers and students create unique modes of pedagogical existence. This second Displacement affirms difference in its productive nature, creating fissures in the homogeneity of educational practices and enabling singularizations. Methodologically, the thesis employed Conversation Circles as a central strategy, emphasizing their flexible and affective approach in discursive interactions. The Circles were conducted in the first semester of 2023 and held virtually via Google Meet and Classroom, as these tools provide interactivity and remote access, enabling the participation of Bilingual Teachers from various municipalities in the state of São Paulo, which would be unfeasible in in-person meetings. These platforms allowed for the use of cameras, microphones, and PowerPoint presentations, as well as the storage of supplementary materials, such as articles, teaching plans, and legislation. The recordings of the meetings facilitated data collection. Collaborators were selected through convenience sampling. The data were analyzed based on two principles: the theoretical-philosophical principle of French Discourse Analysis (FDA) and the Principle of Cartography of Marginal Pedagogical Practices and Processes of Minoration. The results highlighted three distinct movements carried out by Bilingual Teachers: 1-Remaining the same – surrendering to the State Apparatus, remaining “attached” to the Molar Lines of Radical Inclusive Education; 2- Marginalizing – attempting to escape the central logic of in/exclusion through Marginal Pedagogical Practices; 3- Minoring – Pedagogical Displacement in Lines of Flight actions indicating potential Processes of Minoration. I hope that the results presented can contribute to the realization of Bilingual Education of/with/for Deaf individuals and to research in the field of Deaf Studies.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease frequently associated with urban centers and vulnerable populations, including healthcare workers. Declared a global emergency by the WHO in 1993, TB reached 7.5 million new cases in 2022, with Brazil being one of the most affected countries. Given the relationship between TB and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it is essential to highlight the locations where TB stands out among the population of healthcare workers. OBJECTIVES: To characterize the temporal and spatial distribution of reported tuberculosis cases among healthcare workers in Brazil from 2013 to 2023. METHODS: An exploratory spatiotemporal ecological study was conducted, with Brazilian federative units as the units of analysis. The population consisted of reported cases of TB among healthcare workers. Data were obtained from the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System and the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. A descriptive analysis of the data was performed, followed by Prais Winsten time series regression, geocoding, and spatial variation analysis using kernel density estimation. Finally, the findings were mapped. RESULTS: During the period, 10,247 cases of TB in healthcare workers were reported. Brazil shows an increasing trend with an annual increase of 36.4%. In the kernel density analysis, four states emerged as hotspots. CONCLUSION: Brazil shows an increasing temporal trend of TB cases among healthcare workers, and the spatial distribution is heterogeneous, with a higher risk in urban areas of the country, which are priority areas for planning targeted actions to address the disease.

This study analyzes environmental fragility in the peri-urban areas of Sorocaba between 2016 and 2022, aiming to identify and categorize vulnerability areas as a function of urban expansion. The methodology employed the classification of environmental variables, such as pedology, geology, slope, and land use, applying weighted values to determine fragility classes, following an adaptation of Ross’s model. The study produced comparative maps of fragility levels for the analyzed years, demonstrating a reduction in low-fragility areas and an increase in medium and high-vulnerability zones. This mapping provides a basis for urban planning decisions, highlighting the importance of preserving areas with high potential for environmental resilience.

To identify the factors that interfere with the acceptance of oral feeding in patients hospitalized in an Adult Intensive Care Unit. Method: Cross-sectional, descriptive and methodological study, developed at the University Hospital of the Federal University of São Carlos, with convenience sampling. Stage 1: The factors that interfere with the acceptance of oral feeding by patients in the sector were identified. Stage 2: The multidisciplinary team was asked about the factors that may influence the acceptance of oral feeding by hospitalized patients. Stage 3: Creation of a folder containing information related to the factors identified in the previous stages. Research approved under Certificate of Presentation of Ethical Appreciation No. 76766823.2.0000.5504 and by the Research Ethics Committee of the Federal University of São Carlos under opinion No. 6,721,429. Results: 26 patients participated in the study. In the "Organizational" category, 10 (38.5%) patients reported being interrupted by the team during mealtime to perform some procedure. In "Choices", not being able to choose the desired foods was mentioned by 12 (46.2%) patients. In the "Hunger" category, feeling or not feeling hungry at mealtimes was reported by 14 (53.8%) patients, and in the "Eating difficulties" category, 13 (50%) reported difficulties with packages and unwrapping food. In relation to the "Quality/satisfaction with food" category, 15 (57.5%) stated that the taste of food influences diet acceptance; in "Effects of the disease", 21 (80.8%) patients reported anxiety and 21 (80.8%) sadness as potential influencers in the eating process. A total of 42 (77.7%) professionals participated. In the "Organizational" category, 12 (26.8%) identified interruptions during feeding to perform medical and nursing procedures; in "Choices", 12 (26.1%) highlighted that the patient's food preference was not respected/individual taste; in the "Hunger" category, lack of appetite was cited by 8 (17.4%) professionals; in the "Feeding difficulties" category, the use of disposable cutlery was pointed out by 5 (10.9%) professionals; in "Quality/satisfaction with food", 11 (23.9%) reported patient dissatisfaction with the taste of food; and in the "Effects of the disease" category, 5 (10.9%) reported that nausea and vomiting can hinder patients' acceptance of food. Conclusions: this study confirms that there are factors that interfere with food intake in Intensive Care Units, and it is important to evaluate and monitor them, as well as interventions to minimize them, since they can compromise food intake during the patient's hospitalization in Intensive Care.

Counterfactual thoughts are characterized by thinking about the past. Based on conditional logical propositions (if..., then....), they aim to modify elements of reality, imagining outcomes different from what occurred. They are mainly produced following adverse events, for which alternatives are imagined that provide better results. The study of counterfactual thoughts allows for the understanding of complex emotions, such as guilt. They have significant importance in the legal context, since, depending on the focus given by the judge or the suggestion in a lawyer's argument, the outcomes can be altered. Thus, given the importance of the comparative process for interpretations in judgment, depending on the situation to which it is compared, a crime may seem less harmful. Within the journalistic context, an exaggerated focus may be given to the victim at the expense of the aggressor in headlines about sexual violence crimes, a fact that suggests the victim's demoralization. Given the greater blame imputed to the victim, this study intends to investigate how participants elaborate counterfactuals based on journalistic articles referring to sexual violence. Twenty adults, over 18 years of age and who signed the Free and Informed Consent Form (TCLE), participated, having been recruited through invitations on social networks. The participants remotely answered a sociodemographic questionnaire and the counterfactual thinking assessment. Between 16 and 17 counterfactuals were found, all of upward direction except for two neutral ones. The target of the modification, in the headline that focused on the victims' attitudes, was mostly self-referential, and, in the one that focused on the aggressors, there were more other-referential alterations. The structure, direction, and aspects of reality altered were mostly upward, subtractive, self-referential, and with alterations related to action/inaction and obligation, a structure similar to the findings of other authors in the field.
